What to know about Bitcoin Cash and USD Coin

Bitcoin Cash (BCH)

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) appeared in August 2017 as a hard fork of Bitcoin by developers who wanted larger blocks for cheaper on-chain payments.

Sending and receiving BCH

Risks and things to know

USDC depends on the issuer and its banking partners, and the issuer can block tokens on specific addresses. In March 2023 USDC briefly traded below one dollar when part of the reserves was held at a failed US bank.
